Pros

The leader in the telecom industry Innovative designs Good training opportunities Opportunities to travel overseas Opportunities to make real difference to product lifecycle Strong participation in all major standardization bodies Good cooperation from NSN for testing new technologies

Cons

It still remains a "Finnish" company All of the major decision are still made in Helsinki Emphasis on US market is minimal Glass ceiling - most of major senior positions are given to Finnish folks Needs to lead better - not only from technological, but from strategy perspective. Needs better partnership and JV Not-invented-Here syndrome sometimes shows up Too slow adopting new methodologies Needs to be more aggressive in acquisition strategies Needs to find the "next big thing" Needs to improve internal knowledge sharing

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
